Early reading. We have captured 3 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.

A typical post picks up 38 interactions against 1.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Posts are seen about 6.7K times each, and 0.568% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.642% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.5 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 3 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 33% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 21K interactions, about 17x its own typical post. Only 3 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,424 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,888 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 08:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 08:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

  • 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 33% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 122 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    I have some news. But first a little backstory. Almost exactly four years ago, I drove down to Mountain View for my first day as a Google employee. I was fifty-four years old, and somehow had managed to avoid ever having a proper job over that entire period, other than a few startups that I had founded in my twenties and thirties. At that point Google Labs, which had just been formed a few months earlier, was headquartered in a fairly anonymous looking suburban office park off 101, closer to Office Space than Silicon Valley on the Mike Judge spectrum. And as it happened, my first day at Google was a Monday in the summer of 2022, which meant COVID-era work from home policies were still the default, and the office was absolutely deserted. But I’d been set up with a badge and a computer and I had to schedule a phone call with tech support to get my account in order, and so I grabbed one of the empty cubicles and sat down to work through the problems I was having getting into the system. I remember feeling a definite sense of dread in that moment, sitting there in the silence, thinking: have I made a terrible mistake? And then—and I swear to god this actually happened—the silence was interrupted by a lonely robot rolling its way across the carpet past my borrowed desk. Before the end of the summer, though, an inspiring cast of characters began to populate the office, and by October a small group of us had built a prototype of an AI-first tool for thought that my colleague Adam codenamed Tailwind. About six months later, after @joshwoodward previewed Tailwind at I/O for the first time, we set about to give our little experiment a proper name. We had some branding consultants spend an afternoon with the team; we ideated and free associated and placed our post-it notes on the whiteboard, but all the names that they came back with were too impressionistic, too evocative — they didn’t sound like iconic Google names: Maps, Docs, Meet. Because I’d written so much about the history of journals and commonplace books, I had always been partial to simply calling it Notebook. There was something about that framing that just made sense: a notebook is the place where we capture information that we want to remember, where we gather our thoughts. It gives us a dedicated space for thinking, where new connections happen, where we can trace the evolution of our own ideas. And it had a simplicity that fit the Google house style. But we were far too experimental and unproven to take on a name like Google Notebook—remember we had exactly zero actual users at this point—and so we found ourselves a bit stuck: too early-stage for a proper grownup name, but ill-inclined to adopt a name that didn’t sound like the classic Google brands. But at the time there happened to be another Labs experiment that had just launched called MusicLM, and so at some point in late May of 2023 it occurred to me that we could borrow that convention for our embryonic product, and call it NotebookLM. It wasn’t the most elegant name you could imagine, but it had a certain logic to it: we were building a notebook reinvented for the age of language models, after all. I wrote an email to a few folks proposing the idea and included the caveat that if the product ever took off, and Google wanted to elevate us into the canon, we could drop the LM and just be Notebook. And so that’s the news. Three years and somewhere near a billion notebooks later, we are finally ditching the LM. @Gemini_Notebook

What is Steven Johnson's engagement rate on X?

Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.004%, Steven Johnson sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,424 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
